Questions

What BPM is Finnish Steel Storm?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Finnish Steel Storm hard to play on drums?

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

246 bars, about 6:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Finnish Steel Storm?

8 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 16, 24, 40, 64, 96, 120 and 7 more.
